    • Synopsis
    • A looming disaster in one of the most spectacular environments on Earth sparks a
      rescue mission unlike any other in Sea of Shadows, a riveting new documentary with the
      intensity of a Hollywood thriller. When Mexican drug cartels and Chinese traffickers join forces
      to poach the rare totoaba fish in the Sea of Cortez, their deadly methods threaten to destroy
      virtually all marine life in the region, including the most elusive and endangered whale species
      on Earth known as the vaquita porpoise. But a team of brilliant scientists, high-tech
      conservationists, investigative journalists and courageous undercover agents as well as the
      Mexican Navy put their lives on the line to save the last remaining vaquita and bring the vicious
      international crime syndicate to justice
